What we have here folks is an old fashioned player auction!

We really don't, it's the league's worst kept secret that he's coming to Fremantle.

 

[eastfreo75]

not zero

That's for sure

Would be a big slap in the face for freo

Not really.

2 games outside 4 top last season, 3 or 4 youngest list with our best players in their early to mid twenties.

Still have picks 9,10,16,27. Strong hand in a strong draft.

Lol

Won’t change our offer.

Unless West Coast offer something better

Freo fans sound worried.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

That will have Freo fans even more worried!

My sweet sweet summer Vic child. This is basically how it always is for us. For whatever reason, anyone decent in contract is always "WA" despite it clearly being Freo.

 

[MadMundy]

The deal will be the same as it always has, picks 9 and 16 which from all reports Richmond are fine with.

 

[blaisee]

All the right noises being made to maximise richmonds return

Are these Fremantle fans in the room with us?

I think this is happening all in your head.

How is West Coast going to beat picks 9,16 without costing their future?

sure, I mean why would we want 9 and 10, when we could just accept 9 and 16?

The weirdest thing to me on all this reporting is that we seem to be somehow getting comfortably the best price on an outgoing Richmond player. It seems universally agreed as 9 and 16 while you guys are taking away the lube on Baker for 13 and Rioli for 6.

I'm really confused on the prices that are being reported across the players leaving your club

 

[MadMundy]

Because you know you're not getting pick 10, it has never been in the conversation. The deal has always been 9 and 16.

I can't see us doing that.

This universal agreement , where did it come from?

Because Richmond will not accept 9 and 16, you will see

So much coping on this thread

The biggest obstacle to Shai going West Coast is West Coast wanting to pay the picks. That remains the case. Shai can't choose West Coast if West Coast aren't really choosing him.

If you believe a rebuilding team is about to give up a top 5 pick for a 26 year old, I have a bridge to sell you. Not a long bridge coz Perth doesn't really have those, but a bridge nonetheless.

Pick 3

 

[Pomsta]

Sydneys best player in 2 Grand finals now

Hope he comes home

Is Robbie Fox from WA?

The coping is all yours. You keep posting to convince yourself haha

You're the only one running with 9 and 10, everyone else has accepted that it's 9 and 16. You'll get one of 9 or 10, you're not getting both. Bolton isn't worth that.

9 and 16 is completely fair.

This is exactly what happened with Jackson.
Best trade for the club. Wink wink get me to Freo

 

[MadMundy]

I can't see us doing that.

You may not, but I think everyone outside of a couple of Richmond fans in this thread has accepted it'll be 9 and 16.

Cool get stuck with a big contract with a player who doesn’t want to there and not in the premiership window.

I am pretty sure we can pick a few players we need with picks 9,10,16,27 in a strong draft.
